Daira de Bojador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daira de Bojador (Arabic: دائرة بوجادور) (variously transliterated, dā'ira of Boujdour) is a refugee camp in the Sahara desert, more specifically in the Tindouf region of South-Western Algeria, near the Mauritanian border.

It is situated within the wilaya (main camp) of Dakhla. Since 1975, Sahrawi refugees exiled from their homeland in Western Sahara live here, and the camps are the main stronghold of the nationalist Polisario Front.

It is named after the coastal city of Boujdour, in the Moroccan-controlled parts of Western Sahara.
